So Tiger gets whooped again, yet Jim Furyk, grunting in pain every time he swings, manages to halve a match with Fred Funk.

There go my predictions .

Thanks! :)

I am looking good so far, with DiMarco getting a point and Tiger losing a point. I will say this, however. Tiger looked very into this event, and he seemed to be supporting his team better than he ever has. I liked what I saw of him today, and I think he may get it together tomorrow in the four-ball matches. And besides, Freddie didn't play well at all. And by the way, I still don't see how people say this event should be scrapped. The golf today was awesome. The spirits were all high, and the intensity was very good for a first day. I know the Ryder Cup is awesome, but the Presidents Cup is very good as well. And I like Goosen, Scott, Els, etc. So I guess that's another reason I enjoy the event. If Els was playing this year, the International team would be nearly unstoppable. Great action today, and I'm definitely looking forward to watching the rest of the week unfold. Edit: I have one last thing to add while I'm on a roll. How awesome of a pairing was Verplank and Leonard? I have to give it to Jack on this one. When I saw those two paired together, I knew it would be a win for the US. They are two of my favorites, and my favorite team on the US side. It will be interesting to see who will win between them and Immelman/Weir tomorrow in the four-ball. I don't think Verplank and Leonard will lose..

I hope Jack pairs Love and Freddy on Saturday. Both are 0-2 and stinkin it up. It wasn't that long ago that they dominated team play. Recently it seems like Love is always in a funk when its Ryder Cup/Presidents Cup time.

I was wondering the same thing myself.

I am still loving Verplank/Leonard. I don't see them being split all week. Great stuff on the second day of action. I love the Presidents Cup.

11-11. Tiger's got some wins this time, and a gritty halve against Singh and Appleby in today's morning action. Won the last two holes to tie.

It was an awesome event all four days! I was very happy to see DiMarco make the deciding putt. What a great event!

I'll be talking a lot more about the Presidents Cup and its place in golf in this week's Thrash Talk as well. I have a lot to say on the subject.

Yeah, it would have been, but how dumb is Phil for not paying attention. Jack even told him on the 15th hole there are no ties.

Kind of a dumb rule not to have halves, but I kinda liked it, too. I kinda wish they had played that way in every match.

I thought the same thing. After the putt dropped and he was walking around thinking he halved the match and then he looked dumbfounded when he found out he had another hole. I did get a good laugh though.

Since I'm a huge Vijay fan, it's hard for me to root for the Americans instead of him during his matches but all in all Saturday and Sunday was some of the best golf I have watched. Sunday my family came over when the Americans were winning almost all of the matches. We went out to eat and I Tivoed the rest thinking the Americans were going to blow the Internationals out but was shocked to see the end was so close. I was on the edge of my seat. Great stuff.
